I am no expert but I am married to a nurse and Toxic Shock is a rare infecton that can be associated to (I understand) the wearing of a single high absorbany tampon for a prolonged period. I understand that the risk of Toxic Shock is greatly reduced if the tampon is changed reguarly.
As I said I am no expert and perhaps Google would provide some more info.
I also know that if you use the 3 monthly injection type of contraception then your periods stop. Once you have stopped the injections then your cycles return to normal. I think that this may be true of the hormone implant type of contraception also and othis type of contraception lasts for a year or two. Again I am not an expert so you would be better off talking to a physician but if I were female I would seriously consider a hormone implant if I were going on a long trip.
